ROSSFORD, Ohio (WTVG) – What started as a routine traffic stop turned into something special for a family who has fallen on rough times.

While on patrol Wednesday, City of Rossford Police Officer Mark Skala, noticed two children in a vehicle unsecured in a car seat.

“I was conducting traffic stops out on the interstate and observed a vehicle go by that had four children in it, and noticed that two of them were not in child restraints,” said Skala, an 18 year veteran with the department.

A Face book post from the page of Angela Cannon WellsWe do not know the name of this trooper but do know he has a heart of gold. Offered the A/C in his squad car and even paid for the Tow. Here is her story…

When this state trooper realized this man was dying from a drug overdose, he saved his life in the most heroic way… and the heroic rescue was all caught on a dash cam! This video reminded me that good officers still exist.

When Maine State Police Trooper, Doug Cropper, returned with a ticket for a driver he pulled over for speeding, he noticed the driver was turning blue and wasn’t breathing. Genuinely concerned for the driver’s life, Cropper immediately pulled him out of the car and started performing CPR.

Citizens have no way of knowing what types of dangers or monsters a law enforcement officer encounters on a daily basis.

The disrespect toward officers that Ocala Post witnessed following shots being fired from a neighborhood near the Southeastern Livestock Pavilion on July 12 was just one example of what law enforcement endure every day.

As of lately, it seems that the public’s perception of law enforcement across the county is that all law enforcement officers are badge-wearing criminals.

It is also not surprising that some media outlets have played a significant role in helping the public form that perception.

A video from the 4th of July was uploaded to Facebook this week and is quickly going viral. The reason it’s going so viral is that it appears to show a police officer being particularly adamant about upholding the rights of citizens.

In the brief video, it appears that two security guards were either detaining and/or about to search people. According to the officer, the people were simply on their own property watching fireworks and did not deserve to be harassed.

“There is a constitution that I swear an oath to, so don’t freaking mess with it with these citizens. Do you understand me? I know you aren’t subjected to the constitution when it comes to your job, but don’t mess with it,” says the cop, shockingly.
